Experiences in the tourism industry after spinal cord injury: A scoping review.

Context: Despite being important for health and wellbeing, people with a disability engage in tourism significantly less than people who are non-disabled. It is important to understand why this is occurring so that we can set an agenda toward accessible tourism.

Objective: To understand the tourism experiences and needs of people living with spinal cord injury.

Co-creation of self-management support during inpatient stroke rehabilitation.

Objective: This study aimed to identify priority self-management skills and behaviours in partnership with stroke survivors, and to co-create approaches to support self-management during inpatient stroke rehabilitation.

Methods: Three stroke survivors and two communication partners participated in the three-stage Participatory Action Research project with embedded co-design processes after undertaking inpatient rehabilitation at a metropolitan tertiary hospital.

Results: Participants identified key factors influencing self-management during inpatient rehabilitation including motivation, emotional well-being, and fatigue.

Co-creation and stroke rehabilitation: a scoping review.

Purpose: Co-creation is identified as a concept with potential to address many challenges in modern healthcare systems. Its application within stroke rehabilitation is yet to be reviewed. The purpose of this paper is to identify when and how co-creation has been used in the literature to develop services and approaches to stroke survivor care and rehabilitation.

Understanding professional identity in occupational therapy: A scoping review.

Introduction: A strong professional identity helps occupational therapists maintain professional values and thrive when facing work-related challenges and opportunities including generic, blurred or emerging roles, funding pressures and a push for outcome evidence. A scoping review will build understanding of professional identity and how to maintain it in such circumstances.

Objectives: To scope what is currently understood of professional identity in occupational therapy and factors which influence ability to maintain this and adapt in challenging work environments.

Exploring self-management within hospital-based stroke care: current and future opportunities.

Purpose: This study explored stroke self-management within a tertiary hospital setting from the perspectives of health professionals working across the continuum of stroke care.

Materials And Methods: A qualitative descriptive design guided five focus groups in the acute stroke service ( = 2), inpatient rehabilitation ( = 2), and outpatient day hospital service ( = 1). Focus groups were transcribed verbatim and analysed using thematic analysis.

Listening to the client voice - A constructivist grounded theory study of the experiences of client-centred practice after stroke.

Introduction: Collaboration, choice and power-sharing are cornerstones of practice as occupational therapists support individuals to re-establish an occupational identity and reintegrate into the community following stroke. Yet evidence of unmet client needs suggests client-centred care is not optimal, and little is known of client perspectives of client-centred practice. A deeper understanding of the client experience of therapeutic relationships during adjustment following stroke, will help facilitate client-centred practice.

Occupational adaptation - analyzing the maturity and understanding of the concept through concept analysis.

Occupational adaptation is a key occupational therapy concept, yet lacks clarity and consensus, impacting on its application in practice, theory and research. Concept analysis is a rigorous methodology which enables identification of unique features, gaps in knowledge, and the need for further concept refinement. This study aimed to determine the conceptual maturity of occupational adaptation, and identify steps needed to understand and use occupational adaptation.
